Mr. Chair, I am going to split my time three ways. I thank the minister for coming. The minister agrees that deficits fuel inflation. She said so. How much will the $60 billion that she just spent increase inflation over five years?

Mr. Chair, this is a simple question. Of the $60 billion that the minister just spent in her budget, how much will inflation increase over five years? I want just a number.

Mr. Chair, the minister knows that inflation went up last month after she tabled her budget. She has been briefed on this number. There are officials sitting in front of her. I will give her a moment to ask her officials what the number is. How much will inflation go up as a result of the $60 billion that she spent in the last budget?

Mr. Chair, it was $24.5 billion. Can she tell us, in numbers, how much it is today to service the debt?

Mr. Chair, the minister does not believe that the amount she pays to service the debt is important, and every Canadian should hear that today. It is $43.9 billion. That number has doubled. I will ask her one last question, and I want just a number. How much is the payment for the Canada health transfer that this federal government makes? I want an approximation, not even a full number.
